The Find a Surgeon directory is a listing of active Fellows of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons who meet the requirements of the College's Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Program and have opted to be on the list. This list excludes retired or inactive Fellows.

The College is the principal body for the training and education
of surgeons in Australia and New Zealand. Accreditation is given by
the Australian Medical Council to the College and standards for
education and training are established by the College.

The Board in General Surgery of the College has oversight
for the conduct of the College Training Program in General Surgery,
reporting to the Education Policy Board and the Council of the
College.

The Specialist Surgical Training Program in General Surgery is
designed to provide trainees with clinical and operative experience
in order to learn special methods of investigation and become
competent in techniques related to the discipline. At the
conclusion of the Training Program it is expected that trainees
will be able to perform as independent practitioners, meeting the
requirements of all identified College competencies.
